Madeline got back home but her mind couldn't get over what Beatrice told her earlier about Kane. She looked around the empty apartment. It's glow and serenity seemed lost without Kane. It did bother her that Kane was back and he didn't think to even come back to the apartment. This was his home too. It was their happy love nest.Madeline took off her shoes and got to the living room. She fished out her phone from her purse and saw some missed calls and messages from Sarah. She knew she was playing with her internship as she had been absent from her work for some days. Three days had passed since she was discharged from hospital by Esperza. Another day from her school and back home without sensing Kane's presence. She could literally sense if he was home the moment she walked through the front door.As usual she checked her messages with Kane and it seemed he had completely forgotten about her. She rubbed her belly and even though she didn't have the appetite, she had to make herself so
“Am breaking up with you.”Kane already took out his ensembles and shoved them in his bag. He didn't want to look at her and Madeline could only stand so close to him. He was so close but she already felt he was drifting apart from her ever since he learnt about her pregnancy. She couldn't help but wonder if Kane was so scared of being a father that he would treat her this way. He had never misbehaved verbally with her before.“You have no idea what I've being through in these two weeks Kane. And, now you come back after two weeks to end things with me? How can you be this cruel Kane? I...I thought you loved me.” Madeline felt her voice breaking and low at the end. She was starting to doubt that he actually loved her.“Don't make it look like am responsible for what's lead to this Madeline.” He looked at her. “You had a choice. I won't sit by to take care of a baby. You chose to keep it but I hoped you would see reason. But no. You didn't bother to understand my point.” He zipped his
Madeline didn't know how to feel witnessing Kane in another woman's arms. Was she th same woman Beatrice had claimed to have seen with Kane in SoHo. Even though Kane didn't seem like he was reciprocating, the fact was he neither stopped the woman from kissing him. She wondered if it was really over and Kane really meant every word. She was already torn apart by his departure but now her soul was torn seeing him with another woman. A more pretty one at that.Madeline couldn't have her dinner when she got back to her apartment. She had completely lost her appetite and was now in her bedroom crying her eyes out on her now soaked pillow. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Kane looked more ideal with that woman than with her. It seemed he had cracked a huge deal for Kane to be all dressed in a designer suit. Did he completely forget all about her and wasn't there any chance he would return back to her.The next day Madeline went back to the hospital to also stand in line for her breakf
Madeline unlocked her door to let Ava walk in before her. She reached out for the switch and the entire living room was lighted in a flash. Madeline smiled and recalled using tiny of her savings to pay the electricity bill. Now she wouldn't need a torch to constantly see at night. She wouldn't lie when she said it was scary not wanting to bump into something especially in her condition.“I'll get an ice pack.” Ava took a seat on one of the couches while Madeline went to the kitchen to pull out some ice from th refrigerator and stick them into a bag. She still didn't know whether letting a complete stranger inside her home was ideal but she also knew she wouldn't sleep at night if she left her out alone on th streets. It must be awful living on the streets especially as a woman with lustful eyes all over your body.“Ah, hsss,” Ava hissed a little the moment Madeline applied pressure on her bruises with the ice pack. “I'll do it, thank you.” Ava took the ice pack and continued to dab th
Ava came to visit Madeline at the hospital with some goodies in hand. “Umm, I've been craving these.” Madeline saw what Ava got for her. A variety of different chocolates and cookies. Ava smiled before grabbing a stool to sit by her side.“How are you doing Madeline?” Ava asked before letting out a long sigh. Madeline could just tell she had a very long day at her work. “You are tired and you should have gone back home to rest a bit.” Madeline suggested but Ava only chuckled and brushed off the concern in a heartbeat.“You know the sponsored cooking competition in Spain? I decided not to accept the offer.” Ava broke the news and Madeline was quick to straighten herself up before she would choke on her chocolate. Her eyes did stare at her best friend in shock. “Why did you do that? Don't tell me it's because of me and the baby. Come on Ava...”“It was necessary. I know you need me now more than ever girlfriend.” Madeline smiled. Her english had gotten a lot better over the past couple o
Madeline couldn't contain her excitement. Today was the day she would finally get to hold her baby girl in her arms. It was a long wait of over two weeks for the baby to have her lungs matured. Even Ava was by her side with balloons and a wide cheerful smile. Lots of formulas and medications which costs a bunch of money all went to the baby.The door finally opened and a nurse walked in with a new born baby. “Our baby is here girlfriend.” Ava got closer to the nurse to now take the baby in her arms. “She's so beautiful.” Madeline heard Ava whisper and she couldn't help but smile at this moment.“Oh, looks like our girl wants her mom,” The baby moved slightly as Ava got her close to her mother. Madeline's glassy eyes stared at her creation and reached out to hold her. She was much bigger than when she was in the incubator. The baby moved again before crying softly.“She's hungry.” The nurse smiled and Madeline only got her baby closer and the baby was quick to recognize it's mother. Mad
6 years later,“Mr Whitemon is coming....all of you be prepared.” Kane smiled watching his assistant trying to keep up with him while announcing his arrival through her airpods. Four men were behind him as he was headed towards the conference room for his annual reports meeting. His assistant Noelle tried to keep up with her heels and was quick to reveal a tablet before his eyes. “These are all your scheduled meetings today sir.” Kane nodded before making his way into the conference room. Twelve to twenty people were all seated and waiting for him to make his presence known. Everyone got in their bests behaviors and Kane smiled sensing the atmosphere being taken over by his dominance. Gone where the days when he would only look at such tall buildings. Now he owned many buildings and even had businesses that comprised of the many sectors of the world. Hotels, ITs, Chains of Department stores and Bankings with life insurances. He had it all.He was never absent when it came to attendin
The delicious aromas of white pasta accompanied with some red beef stew flew all around in the air. Every morning wonderful smells filled the entire house and today was no exception. Ava was busy in the kitchen and was responsible for the wonderful aromas seeping out from the kitchen. She had her hair in a tight bun with a hairnet on.“I want to taste it right now Aunty Ava!” A jolly six years old Molly rushed into the kitchen with her tiny legs. Ava giggled and turned to look at her but already got mortified once she stared at the clock and back to Molly. “Why aren't you fully dressed yet for school?” And, Molly giggled putting on her face of mischiefs.“Where's your mother?” Only a sigh left Ava's mouth. “She's in her room helping me with my skirt.” Molly's eyes were already centered on the hot pot above the stove and she was already drooling at the side of her mouth. Her eyes already circled around the entire kitchen hoping for a way to get her hands on that beef stew. She couldn't
